You have read in The Craft of Research the importance up with questions and problems related to your research topic. You should also look at the Research Exercise noted on the syllabus before doing this freewrite. Using the three topics you expanded above, create a new document and type the three topic names into a new document. For each topic, come up with as many pressing questions/problems that you think remain unanswered/unsolved. Spend five minutes on each one (set the timer for each one so you don't have to keep looking at the clock).
1. Chesapeake bay declining water quality
What can we do to improve populations of oysters, blue crabs?
What can we do to reduce pollution from industrial and farming industries?
What can we do to restore surrounding terrain?
2. Dinosaur relation to birds – feathers
Why is melanosome observation important in finding relationships between birds and dinosaurs?
What evolutionary changes did dinosaurs go through to become modern birds?
3. Deep sea vent colonies survive without solar power
Why is it important to know about ecosystems that are independent of solar energy?
How does life survive in such extreme conditions?
What adaptations are necessary to live in extreme conditions?
How can we apply this knowledge to learn about possible alien life that does not require solar power?
How can we apply this knowledge to learn about possible alien life that lives in extreme conditions?
